Well what fun we had last night trying to take girth & length measurements of our not so little piggies!!! imagine two friends, a tape measure a brainwave of trying to measure them whilst they are having their tea!! oh yes Carry on Porker began.
However after much laughing and quick manouvering one handed with a tape half wrapped round a pig we finally got some measurements! we have worked out using the common formula - girth x girth x length (middle of ears to tip of tail) x 69.4 that our pigs are 75-80 kg, they are about 4 months old and i have read that you slaughter for pork at about 100-110kg, does this sound like i am about on target for that weight in the next couple of months?
thanks G
